AK 47 Dust Cover Scope Mount

CombustibleLemon · January 31, 2012, 09:10 PM

I want to add a scope mount to my AK for a red dot scope. I tried it on my quad rail, don't like it so much. I wanted to know if anyone has any experience with a reliable, durable dust cover scope mount that takes little if any fitting to fit a Century Arms AK 47? Please no brand bashing, I like my gun!

Generally speaking, anything mounted as a dust cover will move around some. To get around the issue, use a side mount, Ultimak or the spiffy Krebs rail.

Thanks a bunch Chris! Is there a particular side mount that you have found to work best? I have heard I.O. is sub-par.

How about the B-square?
It looks good in the pics but I have yet to see one in use.
